Ne Lexa · Php-Zip · CVE-2026-16767
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Ne-Lexa php-zip versions prior to 4.0.3
**Description**
A path traversal issue exists in the ZIP Handler component within the `ZipFile::extractTo()` function located in the `src/ZipFile.php` file. A remote attacker can exploit this by manipulating the `entryName` argument, allowing files to be written outside the intended directory. Path traversal is a technique used to access files and directories that are stored outside the web root folder.
**Recommendations**
At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
As a temporary workaround, restrict the use of the `ZipFile::extractTo()` function to minimize the risk of exploitation.
